Distinguishing between circumambulating the grave and supplicating to the occupant of the grave

Question : The row, yes. What? Yes, so?

Answer : No, no, as long as he is a Muslim, no, he is excused. Also, circumambulating graves is not shirk (associating partners with Allah); supplicating to graves is shirk. As for circumambulating graves, it is undoubtedly bid'ah (religious innovation), unless one believes that he is drawing near to this deceased person through this circumambulation, in which case it becomes directing worship to other than Allah. As for mere circumambulation, for example, around a grave, whether out of ignorance with the people or out of emotion, for instance, he loves him and circumambulates around his grave, this is considered bid'ah in which there is disagreement, because the preventing factor and the establishing factor are present. So you will find disagreement in it.
